PREPPIES
OF THE WORLD BEWARE
Preppies
of the world beware:
You
are not much more than square.
In
your boots and western jeans,
I
think you are all full of beans.
To
watch a group of you walk by,
I
have to ask myself why?
You
wish to be just like the other,
All
drippy nipples from a cow’s utter.
You
come off as worldly wise.
Yet,
I believe it’s a disguise
For
who you really are inside;
Plain
vanilla you can’t abide.
You
were cut from stenciled form,
And
I know you think you’re above the norm.
Somehow
that makes you less to me
Than
the bum whose bed is full of fleas.
You
corner the market on snobbery.
To
step out of your group 'neath your dignity.
'Less
it’s for something you can get,
And
then act as if you’ve never met.
You’ve
been 'round right from the start.
In
the sandbox you trampled my heart.
At
school you made fun of my clothes.
I
tried to be friends but you were my foes.
Was
it genes or were you taught
To
act that mean and not get caught.
The
names you used to call me hurt –
Especially
when you called me Bert.
And
now you want to be my friend,
But
I don’t have time to spend
With
two-faced preppies who went down
Beneath
their level to know this clown.
I
needed you then but I don’t need you now.
You
see, I learned who, what and how.
It’s
not important to me anymore
To
watch you make points and keep score.
And
I know that’s what you’d like me to do.
I’d
fit in if I just kissed your shoe;
And
I’m not willing to become what I’m not.
I
don’t even like you a lot.
You
come with a complete set of laws.
They
only change when they suit your cause.
You
think for you to get ahead,
You
must stomp on the little guy’s head.
It’s
not so much that you treat me this way.
It’s
how you act and what you say
To
those who are not just like you.
Humanity
is not your strong suit.
